North Korea getting ready to fire another missile - Where will they aim it at?

[AbsentmindedWoman]

Unfortunately things do seem to be progressing down a shitty road. But I'm confused. Will they go for Japan or the USA?

What would happen next? If the lob it at Japan first, I guess then the USA will retaliate...so does that mean NK will try to hit USA first? Or what?

When will China step in? What would the UK do?

I don't know how war strategies work!

Bollocks, thought this was in chat.

Their missiles don't go very far they haven't got the capability.
They are just posturing they won't actually hit anyone

A little ironic that the US is so up in arms about missiles being fired over Japan considering what happened in '45!

Nothing will happen. I wish people would stop getting up in arms over this.

I hope nothing does happen. I'm not unduly worried at the moment because it doesn't feel real - it's like a tv box set for me right now, and I am interested in discussing it.

Except it's real life and not telly, so imo it's quite important to discuss it if one wants.

I think NK will strike Guam. (US territory).
Christ knows what the reaction to that should or would be.

Do you all always worry so much?

Its all bluster.

Kim wants a Nuclear deterrent to protect his empire and NK.

He isn't stupid, far from it. He is very educated with a Swiss upbringing and schooling.

Nothing will happen other than Kim getting what he has been striving for which is the above and then going to the negotiating table.

Financial Markets have hardly moved in the last month with all this going on.

It's a whole lot of willy waving going on.

NK only has one powerful and serious allie and that's China. Even China are getting pissed off with NK so if Kim alienated China, they would have no one.

I put it down to media crowd control. Keep it at the front of everyones minds to keep a tiny bit of fear.

My life is a lot happier and stressful only reading the news once a week. We don't even have news on in the house.
